Tips and Tricks to get the best Brunswick area vacation property experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Brunswick area area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Choosing the perfect rental home:

• Start by having your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Spacious Oceanfront Home w Private Beach Access has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If not, email the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Brunswick area attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Advice for a great stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
